The two of us stayed at this hotel from May 13-15, 2008. It is a short tram ride away from Centraal Station and is located in a quiet part of town. The hotel itself occupies a number of buildings. The room we stayed in was not in the same building as the concierge. Our room was on the top floor... more

Stayed for 4 nights mid May 2008. (was there previously 2 years prior). Still great, friendly staff -- once you get situated in the city, the (long) walk to the city center is beautiful and full of food, beer, shopping and other things Amsterdam-esque ... On a quiet street, clean and safe. However -- I knew I was booking a... more

I stayed here for 2 nights and loved it! The staff is very helpful, always smiling, and really make guests feel at home. My room was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and hot water was plentiful. The TVs and comfy pillows are much appreciated after a long days of sightseeing and museum hopping. (Speaking of which, the location is great!... more

Sure, the room is small and the stairs are steep. Unless you are staying in a higher-end hotel, this is always the case in Amsterdam. The room was very clean. The shared bath was very clean and almost always empty. The view from room 38 was the backyards of residences and the Heineken offices. The breakfast was very filling, but... more

This is a 2 star hotel - so that's what you should expect - but the location was perfect, the staff was extremely helpful and I certainly felt that I got my money's worth. Yes - rooms are small and the building is quite old - but you're in Amsterdam. There is a lift in the building I was in,... more

The staff was fabulous, the room was neat everyday and breakfast was good. Asterisk is located near Museumsplein, 5 minutes walk to rijksmuseum. it is also not far from leidsplein (We... more

We have stayed in Hotel Asterisk for six days during Christmas. It was absolutely great experience for us. It was partly business|private trip and the hotel suited both means the best. Fist of all, we admire the friendly attitude of the staff. Always smiling and very helpful. Rooms are clean and tidy. Breakfast good enough. Absolutely nice, authentic Dutch building... more

It is a nice hotel, a little old from deco and with a steeeeep stair, clean, very friendly and quiet that it will suit people who can pay only the basics but in its best form. Centrum and basic museums at walking distance (although it was -4C!!). more

Being one of the cheapest hotels I could find in Amsterdam, (£89 a night) my husband and I were prepared for the worst. However, for a hotel of it's class, we were more than happy with what we got. The location is a little bit out of the action, but if you want a proper nights sleep and somewhere not... more
